ahh..... I remember pre-EDD when you could have a good day. Now we are dispatched to the max every day. I don't think anyone in my center gets just 2 hours OT a week.
Which was why I asked.....
Does UPS care at all about employee morale?

If you bought Fedex stock 10 years ago you would have doubled your money. UPS stock? Not so much:

There is a shot for that? I thought you only had to take like one viagra and you would be ok as long as you aren't taking nitraits for chest pain.

We have been on EDD for quite some time. Our stops per car are up significantly but I still get done at about the same time every day (1815-1830) with a 9:15 start time (9:00 on Mondays, earlier if preload wrapped).

I should have thought of that....
Do you only want 2 hours or is that due to dispatch? 2 hours a week would be fine for me...

2 hours works out perfectly for me.

I am averaging about 48-50. And it's the same old story... If I could start early I wouldn't mind at all but the 8:20 start is a BS timeslot. The preload is wrapped and the air is there. Also, FedEx is beating most of us out to our routes. That never used to happen.

I would love an 8:20 start.

Our belt used to start at 7:45 at one time. It was great. I was thinking how 7:00 would be perfect because it would allow us to miss the rush hour out of Nashua and most of us would be out on our runs by the times the busses started clogging things up. It gives us a bigger cushion for our NDA and it would save on EAM drivers since we would already be out there. We would be able to finish more of our route prior to p/u's and it would mean more space is available on car. It also means more flexibility in helping out other drivers.
But what do we know...we only do the routes....

9:15 start, usually don't get out until 9:20-9:30, deliver 5 to 10 stops of NDA before 10:30...

That's a shame. All it does is get you home late and prevent you from doing anything during the week. No wonder morale is in the crapper...
You're wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It feels weird to be wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Only thing is I'm not wrong. Our jobs in no way compare to life in Soviet Russia or life behind bars and only a fool would make that comparison.)

8:20 start would be awesome. We have 8:55 right now and 3 days a week air seems to be late so we're on the belt till 9:10 getting our air. Luckily my area is 12:00 commit. But we do have areas now with no commit time now.

Yeah, soon we will see "LM" on a report....Low Morale...
It is the Dragon/SOCKS/napoleon "keep your head down and do what you are told" mentallity they would chase, not the opposite.
